Develop deep expertise in module manufacturing processes — laser welding, adhesive dispensing and potting, vision inspection, profilometry, and electrical testing — establishing process windows, parameters, and capability through critical data analysis and in-depth product understanding
Analyze and optimize production processes to maximize safety, yield, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, capacity, and capability, and champion continuous improvement projects that deliver cost reduction and cycle time gains
Diagnose issues found during manufacturing and drive corrective action back to source using structured problem-solving techniques (DMAIC, Ishikawa, 5 Whys, 8D), resulting in root cause identification and elimination
Monitor and reduce process variation using SPC and MSA; participate in the development and maintenance of FMEAs and Control Plans; and analyze, process, and implement Engineering Change Orders
Develop and modify line layouts including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, and support 5S, Lean activities, material handling improvements, line configuration, and safety procedures
Build robust data collection, visualization, and analysis tools that enable data-driven operational and financial decisions, integrating factory data systems using software such as SQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab, Tableau, and Ignition
Support the introduction, validation, and ramp of new and modified module lines — defining process parameters, running process characterization and DoEs, supporting run-at-rate, and transitioning processes into stable, sustained production
Create and maintain manufacturing instructions, routings, and rework procedures; direct the activities of process sustaining technicians; and support 24/7 production operations
